I know someone who got in; she took a test and paid the registration fee. I coulda, you know, taken the test anytime I want but I just don't feel like it. Don't those guys sit around in secret sessions and think stuff up?

So what is MENSA, Bouncer? How come you could have taken the test?

Can anyone take the test???

Do you have to know someone?

How much is the registration fee?

It's an IQ test, for the very intelligent. A score/IQ -from memory- of 140 or more. Have to be in the two upper percentile (100/99) to join or other words top 2% of population.

What Does "IQ" Stand For, and What Does It Mean?
http://www.geocities.com/rnseitz/Definition_of_IQ.html
The average IQ of the population as a whole is, by definition, 100. IQs range from 0 to above 200, and among children, to above 250. However, about 50% of the population have IQs between 89 and 111, and about 80% of the population have IQs ranging between 80 and 120.

see http://www.mensa.org/
Membership in Mensa is open to persons who have attained a score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test that has been properly administered and supervised. There is no other qualification or disqualification for membership eligibility.

The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another test. Some intelligence tests don't use IQ scores at all. Mensa has set a percentile as cutoff to avoid this confusion. Candidates for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile (a score that is greater than or equal to 98 percent of the general population taking the test) on a standard test of intelligence.

Here's the average IQ by state according to the Ravens APM:

Race differences in average IQ are largely genetic
http://www.news-medical.net/?id=9530
Around the world, the average IQ for East Asians centers around 106; for Whites, about 100; and for Blacks about 85 in the U.S. and 70 in sub-Saharan Africa.

There are many who would deny that test results are consistent across cultural and ethnic lines. For example http://www.rastafarispeaks.com/community/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=83
gives an overview of the history and controversy regarding intelligence testing. I resist the notion that true intelligence is measured with a Eurocentric literary yardstick. Not to be patronizing, but if I said to you, "Yo let's bounce to the LQ for a little sumthin-sumthin and get crumped." You might have trouble with comprehension. Yes, it is one small part of urban life, but it is also an illustration of how easy it is to marginalize a vast portion of our human resources in this country.

If you have interacted with various breeds of dogs, I am sure you have noticed that some breeds are smarter than others.

Also, it is pretty obvious that different species of animals exhibit different levels of intelligence. For example, humans as a group are more intelligent than dogs as a group.

The races are the different breeds of humans, and they do in fact exhibit different levels of intelligence. The Illuminati understands this. The rich and powerful dynastic families are very careful to avoid interbreeding with the less intelligent races, yet they promote interbreeding for the masses through the propaganda of diversity and multiculturalism.

The average white person has an IQ of 100. That is a bit too smart, making whites difficult to manage by the NWO. The native African has an IQ of 70. That is not smart enough, making Africans difficult to train for various employment tasks. The cross-breed has an IQ of 85. This breed can be trained to do work, and is easily managed by the NWO. As the power of the NWO increases, I expect them to become increasingly active in human breeding practices.

The article referenced by Bouncer, above, claims:
"Proponents of an excessively genetic understanding of intelligence often have racist agendas or are simply ignorant of the challenges facing the marginalized people of the world such as members of the African-American community."

That statement is nonsense. Intelligence is a genetic attribute that is measurable. African-Americans are not "marginalized"; they are simply the least intelligent race in the USA. If recognizing and exposing that fact is a "racist agenda", then so be it.

The conspiracy going on here is the conspiracy to make you believe that all races have equal intelligence. This is a false notion that diversity and multicultural training is designed to impart. The goal of this conspiracy is to create a mongrel slave race that serves the NWO.

I appreciate your courage and honesty. Thank you for presenting one of the most salient arguments in sociology today. In the USA, the African-American people are far from a "Pure Breed", to use your allegory. Genetics become more complicated when you cross-breed those with different traits. Which is the dominant IQ trait, if in fact it is largely hereditary? Also, nurturing practices have an overwhelming influence upon fetal and early development, both physical and mental. For instance, wealth in the USA has a strong correlation with average IQ scores by state, which indicates that raising children in an intellectually challenging environment is still by privilege and not by right. In other words, if you are working 18 hours a day just to feed your family, you might not get around to reading Shakespeare at bedtime. Lastly, the Indo-European nations display the highest IQ scores of the world. Can anyone tell us why??
